I seem to remember a QST article about using an Elecraft K2 as a VFO for a Drake, but I can't find it by searching the ARRL site. Or maybe I dreamed it! Kurt, W7QHD

The FS-4 can be considered as stable as a crystal BUT it does not add anything to overall stability to the R4C, for example. Why? The main part that contributes to drift is the PTO so whether one uses and FS-4 or plug in crystal, the stability is basically unchanged. The FS-4 is handy for SWLing, WARC, etc. but at today's prices, only the rich can afford them... ///snip _______________________________________________ Drakelist mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.zerobeat.net/mailman/listinfo/drakelist
